I know some of the albums are more thrash than death, but I added them anyway, because I guess they could appeal to death metal fans too. Many of the albums are not so well-known, but I prefer them over the classics. If you have any other suggestions of underground albums you think I could enjoy based on my choices, you can suggest me.

In Flames - ClaymanThis was the first extreme metal I got into, so I have a special relation to it, but I still think it's the perfect combination with melodies and aggression. It is debatable if this could be accepted as death metal, though, and this is the last In Flames album I include on the list, although I love "Reroute To Remain" too.

The Crown - Eternal DeathMelodic, but not too melodic and not in a Gothenburg-vein. A fast album with a dark atmosphere without use of keyboards.

I recently found Slaughter's album Strappado, and found it great enough to include on the list. I didn't know before there were any death metal bands, except for Possessed, who released album prior to Death. I also prefer Slaughter over anything Death has created.

Not really prior to Death, maybe the album was out about month before Scream Bloody Gore but Death's demo's wee out before those of Slaughter and Chuck even worked with Slaughter for a short while

I'm so glad you're here to inform me of all those things I didn't know. By the way I think it was through one of your old posts I discovered Slaughter.
